Lawyer, statesman
He studied civil law at the flourishing Law School of Orleans. His teacher was Raoul d'Harcourt. About 1277 he became a professor. He is the author of several very comprehensive commentaries on the civil law and numerous short comments as well. As a teacher he was not very successfull and in 1296 he resigned. His life changed course as the king of France, Philip IV (Philip the Fair), had invited him to become his advisor. He now regularly fulfilled important diplomatical missions, for instance in Flanders, after the French occupation in 1297, and in England (1299). In the Holy Year 1300 he was obliged to betake himself to the Eternal City. On his way to Rome he visited Bologna, where the university invited him to hold a guest lecture on the civil law. In 1306 the king nominated him Keeper of the Seal, the major minister of the Crown. He performed his tasks for a very short time: in 1307 he retired. The reason may have been that he disapproved of the process of King Philip against the Order of the Knights Templar. Belleperche simultaneously was a clergy man: canon of Auxerre, Bourges, Chartres, then dean of Notre Dame de Paris and finally (for a short time) bishop of Auxerre. He thanks his reputation as a layer to some 14th Century Italian commentators, especially Cinus of Pistoia, who cites him continually in his own commentary. That is also the reason why many of his doctrines were adopted by Barolus of Sassoferrato, the most influential European Civil Lawyer of the 14th Century. Bartolus' most influential pupil was Baldus de Ubaldis. He taught not only civil but also canon law. This circumstance explains why several doctrines of Belleperche were also adopted by the canonists.
